Palantir and Tesla are down 30%. Time to buy?

Palantir and Tesla are down 30%. Time to buy?

Not no, but hell no. The two companies are significantly overpriced and should continue coming down significantly in price in the next 12 months. Be patient and wait for them to fall 50% and 40%, respectively, before considering adding them to your portfolio.

Palantir Technologies

As of February 24, 2025, Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) has experienced a notable decline from its all-time intraday high, which was on just six days ago, on February 18, 2025 when PLTR shares rose intraday to $125.41 and the company registered a market capitalization of approximately $271.45 billion. In just six days, Palantir has lost about 28% from its AI bubblicious valuation, with shares trading at $90.68 with a market cap of approximately $212.68 billion. Although PLTR has lost almost $60 billion in value in just 6 days, it is still trading at a price to earnings ratio of 481. 

PLTR's downturn is primarily attributed to concerns over potential U.S. defense spending cuts, which could impact Palantir's government contracts, its primary income source. Recent stock sales by CEO Alex Karp also influenced investor sentiment, and implicitly invited others to take some profits off the table.  Despite the recent decline of about 28%, Palantir's stock has seen substantial growth over the past year, and is still up almost 290% in 12 months. We assume that PLTR will continue deflating and that share prices will continue falling significantly in the next 12 months. PLTR is a good company with good products. However, we would not get near its stock until the company sheds about 50% of its current valuation. When shares drop below $50 and valuation below $100 billion, it may be a good time to revisit buying PLTR shares.

Tesla, Inc. 

As of February 24, 2025, Tesla Inc. (TSLA) is trading at $330.53 per share. The stock reached its all-time intraday high of $488.54 on December 18, 2024. This represents a decline of $158.01 per share, or approximately 32.3%, from its peak.

Regarding market capitalization, Tesla surpassed the $1 trillion mark in October 2021. At its peak in December 2024, the company's market cap was approximately $1.5 trillion. With the current share price, Tesla's market capitalization stands at around $1.09 trillion, reflecting a decrease of about $410 billion, or 27.3%, from its peak valuation.

These figures highlight the volatility inherent in Tesla's stock performance over recent months. Just like in the case of Palantir, our assumption is that Tesla is significantly overpriced and has been riding an AI bubble based on Elon Musk's promises about robo taxis and AI robotic assistants. We may be wrong, but we think that Elon is bluffing and fooling investors. We would not consider buying a long position on Tesla until share prices get below $200. We are currently holding a short position on the stock.

In sum, both Palantir and Tesla are good companies, but their shares are significantly overpriced. Palantir should come down 50% and Tesla 40% trading at around $45 and $200, respectively, for them to represent potential buying opportunities. In the meantime, the best approach is to ignore the stocks or see them continue falling into an apparent abyss from unwarranted bubblicious heights. 

Now you know it.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
